Why do you want to see me," Lily asked going straight to the point "Lily, I came here to apologize. No matter my explanation it doesn't change the fact that I abandoned you when you needed me most," he started and Lily looked on with a straight face, constantly reminding herself Derry was just in the living room to keep herself calm. "So, why did you leave? All I remember was you apologizing," she said and Derrick remembered that day, He had spoken to his father and he left the hospital after.

Derrick spent some time with his children before leaving for his apartment. He decided to stay around for a while before going back to Washington. In his apartment, he stood in the living room recalling memories of himself and Lily. His eyes shifted to the dining and he remembered the first time he had cooked for her. He recalled the good time they had.He went up to the bedroom. He opened the door and the familiar fragrance that used to greet him when she was in the room was no longer there. He scanned the room and the dressing table still had her stuff on it. He opened the closet and her clothes were still in there. Neither she nor he returned to the apartment after she was rushed to the hospital. He removed one of her dresses from the hanger and hugged it. It did carry traces of her scent. He lies on the bed hugging her d

She got herself employed in his new company, Armani or something, some weird name, I don't know how he comes up with company names. Anyway, she got close to him and he found solace in her. She yielded so I let them be," he explained "So Derrick doesn't know," Derry said"No, he doesn't. Isabel is a CID. She is in love with Derrick now and she will come clean after our operation.

Luis, knowing what was going to happen, had already taken the first flight to Washington to go defend Derrick. Arriving at Washington Central police station, Derrick saw on the TV screen what had transpired the night before, while he was in bed hugging Lily's dress. He was shocked to see what was showing on the screen. "So that is why he got arrested?" he thought as he was sent to the withholding cell. He knew his father can do the unthinkable like when he killed his friend and made him lose his memory but that was a long time ago. He thought he had changed."Drug and weapon trafficking?" he thought "When did he start doing such business?" he continued in his thought "But why? As the head of Homeland Security, he earned good money, so why will he do this?" he thought, "or someone set him up" "Lucky you. Your lawyer is already here," came the voice of the officer interrupting Derrick's thought. He got up and moved closer to the bar and staring at the police officer sternly he sai
